Getting ready for swarm season,

Going through my videos and pictures from last summer. Getting pumped up for the spring. This was one of our swarm traps.

With the comb oriented wrong, what would happen if you set it with the opening up and added 2 deeps with drawn comb on top? Would they, in 3 weeks, move everything up and leave the trap with clean, white comb?

That was the plan, but as Lazy has said, without having any support, the comb had collapsed on the ride home so I had to cut out and put in frames.

I was going to do that and try to put a piece of plexiglass over the opening so people could look at it up close. But couldn't do it once home.

Maybe this year. It would be nice to have.If you are successful, be sure to spray it good with BT.
